Topic Two: Fibre Optics
Fibre optical technology has revolutionized access to information. Some people argue that unrestricted access to information helps open up societies and improve human rights and can be used as tools for pro-democracy groups. However, some totalitarian governments practice censorship by restricting citizens’ access to Internet sites promoting human rights and democracy. Here are some questions you can explore further, or propose a question of your own.
How has holographic technology made it more difficult to counterfeit Canadian currency?
In which ways does the use of lasers in surgery improve surgical techniques and recovery time?
In which ways can posting magazines or newsletters on the Internet rather than printing and distributing them, benefit the environment?
